Okay, we agree.
This just seems painfully pedantic.
Intermittent fasting is any of various meal timing schedules that cycle between voluntary fasting (or reduced calorie intake) and non-fasting over a given period.[1][2] Methods of intermittent fasting include alternate-day fasting,[3] periodic fasting, such as the 5:2 diet, and daily time-restricted eating.[1][4]
“Disciple” is just a word I chose, rather than a judgment or criticism.
Is there a better word that I can use in the future to ensure that my message is one of support free from misinformation?
I feel your link and the other studies showing it helps people with various other addictions is evidence against the drug being a “fat melter”.
IF is a catchall for eating less rather than any specific the strict scheduling that influencers peddle.
I wholly respect the difficulty, and I respect this may be some people’s best or only solution to what ails them.
I have, and do, suffer from lack of discipline in facets of my own life.
I just want to be honest about these drugs.
The wonder here is effective brain manipulation rather than fat melting.
These drugs are chemically induced intermittent fasting.
I’m okay with people saying “these drugs force people into healthy eating habits” but the weight loss itself is merely a symptom of the healthy eating habits that would be healthier on the body when done with discipline rather than chemically altering your digestion.
Highly recommend a film called The Greatest Sinner In The World.
Zappa did the soundtrack in his early 20s.
It’s a surreal experience.
